The only difference in XF86Config-4 between the two installs is:
Subsection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubsection
and
Subsection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubsection
But that is not the problem.
The problem is that if I generate a Replay diskette on a system that was
installed using auto install (using the first X declaration above), the
auto_inst.cfg file on the diskette has the 'resolution_wanted' and
'default_depth' both set to undef (second X declaration above).
If I subsequently use the Replay diskette to install on another machine, X is
not set up with the same resolution and depth that the first machine was set
to.
For some reason drakx is not setting 'resolution_wanted' and 'default_depth'
to the values 1024, and 24 respectively.
